We still love the different landscapes and natural environments that surround the town. Moab has become even more crowded and built up than 4 yrs. ago, and many Moab locals come up here to get away from the crowds and the summer heat. After several years of drought, this past winter's snowfall, and the spring rains, have us at maximum water capacity. It is, still, always an adventure living in southeastern Utah.Mary Cokenourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180741216552483451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459662516179620594.post-50003627634355433612023-05-19T15:23:22.793-06:002023-05-19T15:23:22.793-06:00Hi Mary,

My fiance and I have always loved Moab and the deserert, but Monticello seems to give that plus the added bonus of the mountains for skiing/snowboarding.

We are also in the process of wanting to move out to Moab (from Wisconsin) and finding it challenging to find housing in our price range. So in looking at other options, Monticello has come up. I was wondering, since you've lived there for a bit, if you would ever be open to connecting about what it is like to live in Monticello. My to be husband and I are both in our mid 30's and wondering what kind of community Monticello is. My name is Susie. Hope to connect with you!

Have your step-daughter come up to Monticello, go to the Welcome Center on Main Street, and ask for me. Also, I've written so much about all the towns you've mentioned, and personally (remember, I'm biased), Monticello would make you happier; especially being semi-retired, like I am. :)Mary Cokenourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180741216552483451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459662516179620594.post-56582626297219187302015-07-17T05:58:29.263-06:002015-07-17T05:58:29.263-06:00Mary thank you for your quick response.

LOL, I don't want to spend another winter even thinking about loading a wood stove. I was surprised to hear the winter temps out there (I forgot about the mountains). I thought it would be a bit warmer. Anyways, one by one, I'm looking at the towns around Moab --Blanding, Bluff, Mexican Hat, etc. My husband's daughter just moved to Moab and we were so hoping to get out that way but as you said, houses are extremely high. I appreciate your blog and any input. Anything else you would like to offer is greatly appreciated.ChristineMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14956519324524770494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459662516179620594.post-7342561090502222882015-07-16T09:03:39.652-06:002015-07-16T09:03:39.652-06:00Tim Young has proven to be an excellent mayor.

The...Hi Christine, I would say Yes!, move out here. The geographical landscapes out here are wondrous, pure blue sky, clear fresh air, and plenty of room! As to our winters, I've been here 6 yrs now and each winter has been different, from 6 feet one year to barely a foot in other years. The winters in Moab used to be very mild, but they have been getting hit harder than Monticello in the past 2 yrs, and we're at a higher elevation with mountains behind us! Anyway, whether you are retiring, or have family coming with you; Monticello is a quiet town and am very happy we moved here instead of Moab which is noise, noise, noise during the tourist season. Hope this helped you out; if you need a realtors name and number; email me at 4cfoodie@gmail.com and I'll give you my best contact.Mary Cokenourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180741216552483451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459662516179620594.post-23811059860420963842015-07-16T07:34:40.106-06:002015-07-16T07:34:40.106-06:00Mary, we are thinking about moving out that way fr...Mary, we are thinking about moving out that way from RI.
